To ensure parking spaces are available for business traffic at the onset of each <br />business day, a modification to the overnight parking provisions is proposed to improve the availability of parking <br />spaces. <br />This proposed ordinance would restrict parking of vehicles from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. on two blocks in <br />downtown. These areas are on Main Street from Jackson Street to Parrish Avenue, and on Jackson Street from <br />Trunk Highway 10 to Main Street. After 6:00 a.m. daily parking would be available on a first -come, first -serve <br />basis in these areas, with no other restrictions until 2:00 a.m. the next day. <br />This change does not affect other parking areas, which ensures a substantial supply of public parking will continue <br />to be available for late -night and overnight parking in the downtown area. <br />Financial Impact <br />N/A <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Support downtown commerce. <br />Attachments <br />■ Ordinance Amending Chapter 94 <br />■ Map of Affected Blocks <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires pi ospei l_ y. <br />M <br />TUREJ <br />Updated: Januay 2023 <br />
